Do you believe that everyone has a God Given Purpose on earth?
If so, do you believe that one has to work toward something in life or just wait until God opens a door of opportunity to fulfill their purpose.
origin of question: Some people just seem to float along in life, not really working to achieve anything significant and all of a sudden, here comes this big opportunity that if they take, makes them happy and successful.

Not everyone believes in a god, let alone the SAME god when they do believe- are you saying those people who aren't Christian have no purposes?
For atheists, we see our life as the ONLY life we'll get. Meaning we have to make the most of our time here.
Everyone has a different purpose that fulfills their needs.

I do believe. We are all children of God and the reason we're all still alive and breathing is because our work is not yet finished. We are special, unique, and loved, although some people, sadly, feel otherwise. We fulfill our destiny no matter what, but if we work hard, our destinies will become better and less worthless. Each person has a purpose.

I believe that everyone has a gift from god, like a special talent. Im not so sure about the purpose. Is this from the book by Rick Warren" the purpose Driven Life?"

Yes! I do believe something like that.
We all have a purpose, but whether it's up to us to find that purpose or if the opportunity will just occur without any requirement to look for it,.....I don't know.
It makes sense that the opportunity would not present itself until a person is ready to succeed at whatever it is.

Yes - in fact, not only one. As a Christian, my primary purpose is to have a relationship with the Living God. Other purposes include sharing the Gospel of Jesus, living a life that shows the love of Jesus ...

I believe we find purpose, activities and ideas that inspire us to be more than we currently are. Whether it is god-given or not, simply does not matter, for the sake of this discussion. I believe also that the best way to recognize your purpose is to pursue goals and stay active and ready to sieze opportunities when they arise.

Yes i totally believe that everyone is here for a reason, the people we meet or come across in life has to happen for a reason, things we go thro..heart ache and pain etc.is all part of who we are, what were accapable of going thro and what god want us to go thro to strength our soul. i believe that whatever you do down here, as loving and non-selfish acts and how you treat people gives us karma good & bad. Only god can jude us on what we are..or who we have became to be,even if we have relazied it or not.

Nope, I don't believe in purpose. I don't believe there's a reason we're here, and I don't believe that god has a plan for you that will work out whatever you do. That's why I went ahead and made my own life the way I wanted it.
